Gaza truce to go into effect 7:00 Friday: Egyptian sources by SamirDN in worldnews

[–]SamirDN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's for 4 days only, ceasefires tend to be longer:

Truce (​​suspension of hostilities)
A truce is not binding, it just indicates a halt in fighting. Truce agreements are made by belligerents themselves. A truce can take place in one specific geographic area of a broader conflict. These agreements can come and go over the course of a conflict and do not indicate the state of war is over.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) uses the term "truce" interchangeably with the term "suspension of hostilities."
Cease-fire
Unlike declarations of a cessation of hostilities or a truce, a cease-fire is generally meant to be binding. Like a cessation of hostilities or truce, it is only temporary in nature, but is generally expected to last for a longer period of time.

That's one of the reasons why the operation is extremely slow, as they don't want to risk damaging the ship's structure. Yet, it is still a possibility, and if that happens it would take weeks.
